Urals
Advantages: - Uranium is a very useful metal with many applications. - Uranium is the most important source of dollars for the Australian population. Disadvantages: - Uranium is toxic and radioactive. Accidents can release uranium, radium, radon into soils, waters and atmosphere.
The most common uranium minerals are uraninite (pitchblende) and carnotite. Also uranium is a by-product in the mining of gold, vanadium, phosphates.
Uranium mining can be conducted safely and responsibly in Australia with strict regulatory controls and monitoring. However, there are environmental and health risks associated with uranium mining, such as radioactive contamination and exposure to miners. It is important to carefully assess these risks and implement strong safety measures to mitigate them.
the most common place to find Uranium is in Granite- if I'm interpreting your question right
it gets you uranium, if you have uses for uranium. beyond that i am not sure exactly what kind of answer you were looking for. there are several hundred possible uses for uranium, most of them totally non-nuclear.
An important ore of uranium is called Pitchblende.
Most likely it was the availability of mining jobs.
Yes, Canada is the most important country in the production of uranium.
Uranium in Saskatchewan is primarily mined for nuclear power generation. The province is one of the world’s top producers of high-grade uranium, with most of the uranium being exported to other countries for use in nuclear reactors to generate electricity. The mining industry in Saskatchewan plays a significant role in providing uranium for clean energy production globally.

Most uranium now comes from Australia, but there are many other sources. See www.world-nuclear.org and look for Uranium Mining as a subject.
Yes, uranium is the most important nuclear fuel.
